I think I stated that the code editor is the *only window* that is now visible and it contains the units I had open when I closed the project. All of that is present, but EVERYTHING ELSE I had set up is gone! I was told earlier that the window arrangement (project options, object inspector, code explorer, messages etc, etc) would be saved and possible to return to if one saved the desktop under a name other than default. One can have several such desktops to choose from (optimized for GUI app development or console app etc). And the desktops are not tied to the projects, they are a Lazarus configuration like the color scheme of the source editor etc. So I assume the only related item that would be found in the project lps file should be the *name* of the desktop to use. So I saved my configured environment under such a name and it was returned when I closed and then opened my project until yesterday when it no longer was.... I want to restore it from my backup of Lazarus settings but I don't know where Lazarus saves this information... And I woud like to know *why* Lazarus loses this information, it is not the first time it happened... In fact I just opened a related Lazarus project (the client) on my Windows 10 PC where I run the same 2.0.8/3.0.4 version of Lazarus. Ant it too had lost its desktop settings and is now only displaying the code editor, no other window visible!!!!! Next I started Lazarus 2.0.10 on Windows 10 to check if that too has lost the desktops, but in that case it has not! Is this a known bug in Lazarus 2.0.8? For example if the IDE is open across midnight and then closed does it lose its desktop configuration? I have used both of the 2.0.8 Lazarus (Windows and Raspberry) yesterday and I made sure to close them before I want to bed since my PC would run a weekly backup overnight (not so on the RPi). So both were active at midnight but closed a bit later. But my 2.0.10 Lazarus was *not* running, last time I used that was yesterday morning. -- Bo Berglund Developer in Sweden -- _______________________________________________ lazarus mailing list lazarus@lists.lazarus-ide.org https://lists.lazarus-ide.org/listinfo/lazarus
